Hi, I have a question about transfering my account to another computer.

I'm switching to a new computer for WoW because it has more room on it. I know I can just reinstall the original WoW because I actually bought the disks from the store; the thing is, I downloaded Burning Crusade online on this computer and my question is when I put WoW on the other computer will I need to redownload BC and will I have to pay for it? Thank you!

PS I have Windows XP if it matters at all

Copy your BC download to a DVD, and then you can reinstall from there. If you're unable to do that, you would have to perhaps swap the drive containing the BC download into the new PC long enough to copy it over. If you're unable to do that, you'll have to contact Blizzard and let them walk you through from there. If you can prove you purchased it, then I see no reason for them to not allow you to re-download it.

I don't think it matters if you purchased it or not you should be able to download BC anyways. The expansion is enabled by your account not the files on your computer.

As for the OP just copy the entire WoW directory into the new location. Do this by burning a dvd or connecting the two computers up through a network. If you do this you shouldn't have to download anything unless your missing some recent updates.
